Steven Brown, 30, made the move from the playing field to the
coaching staff in 2007, spending one season as a graduate assistant
on Watson Brown’s staff. In 2008 he moved into an assistant
coaching role and in 2012 he took on the duties of Offensive
Coordinator.

In addition to coordinating the offense, he also coaches the
receivers and quarterbacks. It was under his direction that a pair
of recent quarterbacks thrived. First Lee Sweeney set numerous
school records, then Tre Lamb stepped in and re-wrote many of those
same marks.

An experienced player who enjoyed two successful seasons at UAB and
one at Tech, Steven had one season of eligibility remaining in 2008
but passed on the chance to play his final year for the opportunity
to begin his coaching career.

The son of head coach Watson Brown, Steven played two seasons at
UAB then transfered to Tech in 2007 where he played both wide
receiver and quarterback for the Golden Eagles.

A highly recruited prep quarterback out of high school, he
originally enrolled at Auburn in 2004, then moved to UAB and made
the transition to receiver in 2005. In 2006 he played in 11 of 12
games for the Blazers, ranking fifth on the team with 14 catches
for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

In his one season for the Golden Eagles, he had 12 catches for 164
yards as an inside receiver. In the middle of the season, with
injuries to the top three quarterbacks, Steven stepped under center
and played quarterback. He finished the year going 22-for-34 for
252 yards and one touchdown, posting a 119.02 quarterback
rating.

In high school, he was named honorable mention on the Class 6A
All-State team in 2003 as a senior quarterback, helping lead
Vestavia Hills to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the state
semifinals.
